Reviews
For too long Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy has been unavailable for students of the Victorian age despite its influence on a variety of major writers such as Dickens, Gaskell, and Eliot. Indeed, one of Logan's primary achievements is to demonstrate Martineau's place in literary history: uniting literature and political economy and thus establishing the foundation for the reform literature that so marked the mid-Victorian age. This edition of Martineau's stories provides a clear, thought-provoking introduction with an excellent selection of supporting material, and should be of value in the disciplines of history, literature, sociology, and women's studies., It is thrilling to see a selection of Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy back in print. These tales, once accessible only in rare book rooms, are now available to scholars and students in a clear, well-organized format with useful critical apparatus. Logan's excellent critical introduction contextualizes the publication of Illustrations within debates over reform in the early decades of the nineteenth century and makes a strong case for the centrality of Martineau's work in the history of the nineteenth-century novel. Illustrations of Political Economy is essential reading for students and scholars of nineteenth-century British literature and culture, and Logan's excellent critical edition makes this important text newly engaging and highly accessible for the next generation of cultural historians and general readers.

Synopsis
"Logan's excellent critical edition makes this important text newly engaging and highly accessible for the next generation of cultural historians and general readers." -- Alexis Easley, University of Alaska Southeast, Published in 1832, Illustrations of Political Economyestablished Harriet Martineau as both a successful and controversial author and a pioneer of nineteenth-century "social problem" writing. This widely read series of didactic stories popularized political economy, making it accessible to audiences by vividly dramatizing issues such as overpopulation and labour strikes. Illustrations of Political Economymarks a pivotal moment in which literature and politics came together, laying the foundation for the realism and social commentary of later Victorian novels. This Broadview edition contains a critical introduction and a rich selection of historical documents, including contemporary reviews of Illustrationsand writings on population growth, factory conditions, and working-class life.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
